The Zinc-Copper Electrochemical Cell

1) Write the equation for the reaction which takes place at the anode.
2) Write the equation for the reaction which takes place at the cathode.
3) What does the salt bridge "do" in the anode and cathode compartments?
4) What is the direction of flow of the electrons?
5) If the cell is allowed to run continuously, what eventually happens?
6) Explain why the zinc electrode becomes smaller as the cell operates.
7) Explain why the copper electrode becomes larger as the cell operates.
8) Calculate the standard potential of the zinc-copper cell.
